A tight, pretty wine with blue-fruit, chocolate and hazelnut character. It’s medium-to full-bodied. Fine, dense tannins on the palate give a seamless, silky texture. Second wine of Château Pavie. Drink in 2022.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

The Wine Independent

In 2017, the Perse family acquired new blocks on the plateau with younger vines but these only became dedicated blocks for this label from 2018. The 2017 Aromes de Pavie has a deep garnet color and it shoots from the glass with powerful scents of wild blueberries, black raspberries, and fresh juicy plums, leading to notions of espresso, licorice, Chinese five spice, and rose oil. The full-bodied palate is amazingly silky with bright, energetic black fruits and a lively backbone, finishing long and minerally.

Wine Advocate

A blend of 65% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc and 17% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2017 Arômes de Pavie is made from the young vines of Pavie, and due to its elevation, there was no frost in the vineyard in 2017. Deep garnet-purple in color, the wine has quite an earthy nose of fertile loam, mossy tree bark and truffles over a core of plum preserves, chocolate-covered cherries and a waft of cinnamon stick. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is bursting with bright fruits and energy, structured by wonderfully plush tannins and bold freshness, finishing with a spicy kick.

Wine Enthusiast

Well structured, this second wine of Château Pavie brings richness while preserving good acidity and a light touch of freshness that balance the tannins and concentration. These two elements will give a wine that will age over the medium term. Drink from 2023.

Vinous Media

The 2017 Arômes de Pavie is just gorgeous. Pliant and supple, with terrific fruit purity, the 2017 is an excellent choice for drinking now and over the next decade or so. Sweet red cherry and plum, mocha, wild flowers, rose petal and cinnamon add layers of nuance, but more than anything else the 2017 is a wine to drink for its joyous fruit and super-inviting personality.

Based on 65% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc, and 17% Sauvignon, brought up in 50% new French oak, the 2017 Aromes De Pavie is a rock star that's well worth seeking out. Blackcurrants, black cherries, crushed flowers, and toasted spice all emerge from the glass. With medium to full body, a rounded, elegant texture, good mid-palate depth, and beautiful length, it's tastes like a mini-Pavie. Drink it over the coming 15 years or more.

Wine Spectator

Lush and inviting, with layers of warmed raspberry, blackberry and plum compote forming the core, while velvety structure carries this through an anise- and fruitcake-accented finish. Very flattering. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2028. 5,416 cases made.

Decanter

The 2nd wine of Pavie comes from a 5ha plot that has been kept separate since 2015. Maintains the Pavie identity and conveys excellent freshness, with a real sense of texture and pleasure. Good stuff and will be ready to drink in the next three or four years, there are tannins here but they are pretty flexible.
